Yria Oscura Imperial Brown Ale

This Imperial Brown Ale presents a rich, multi-layered tapestry of decadent Maris Otter and Munich malts, offering a robust foundation of toasted bread and nutty caramel. The addition of Carafa III provides a deep, dark hue without excessive acridity, while oat flakes contribute a luxurious, velvety texture. Aged on American oak and seasoned with Port, the palate is graced with balsamic complexity, vanilla, and dark fruit nuances. Earthy, herbal notes from Northern Brewer and Challenger hops provide a grounding bitterness that balances the inherent sweetness, resulting in a sophisticated, warming profile that remains impeccably balanced and elegant.
